Steroid injection: You should consider a shot called an epidural steroid injection. This is a way to place some anti-inflammatory steroid right next to the irritated nerve. This may help.' if this does work, but not last, this may mean that surgery would help you.

Spine Specialist: If you have a documented disc herniation with progressive weakness of the lower extremity muscle(s) associated with the damaged nerve(s), you should go see a spinal surgeon now.
